i am not sure how i feel about running roms on a computer with internet
functions etc
i know the chances of super mario land spying on me are
quite low
but on principle as emulators do give some control to the roms
for creating save files etc
i dont think i will run a non-libre program on my computer
even if it is i a emulator as some emulators like visual boy advance and
bgb(i think non-libre) do have networking functions that can be controlled by
a programmer
see this video for info on how to use networking on a gameboy
its primative but it can send a string of data to any ip address in the world
so all it needs is to find a bug in visual boy advance and it could spy on
you
i don’t know if i am being over paranoid but i just don’t want to give
non-libre software any control over a device that could be used for bad
things like a wifi card
(i was using m$ windows in a vm at the time of the video forgive me :( )
